'Sketches of Dragonflies' is about maladaptive daydreaming, romanticism, moving away from home, hypochondria & fighting the melancholic fear of losing yourself when losing someone.

Lyrics:
Vapour doesn't last
My tongue is not so fast
In person I collapse
Entwined I’m a mess

Don’t act like it’s same since day one
More honest with sauvignon blanc
“Don’t tell me about your time spent wandering”
I was on the road
It’s alright sometimes
(Get out my face, get out my place)

Honey, why're you always talking about the fools, the drama?
I need karma for my good deeds sometimes

It’s a risky thing
Closing your eyes
Kissing mother goodbye
Closing your eyes

Just call me up
It’s not that I am lost in love no more
Still get stuck 
Lost in love no more
(I like knowing you don't need me
I like knowing you're not there
Reappear, euphoria blares)

Am I out of luck
For feeling firm that two's enough
Agonise two dragonflies
I'm sketching all the time

Cindy, am I dying?
Stars, I’ll try defy them
Dreaming, I’m not crying
Let me feel alive again

Cindy said I'm faking 
These maladaptive daydreams
Hypochondriac 
Is romance in our waiting?

Just call me up
It’s not that I am lost in love no more
Still get stuck 
Lost in love no more

Cindy, am I dying?
Stars, I’ll try defy them
Dreaming, I’m not crying
Let me feel alive again

Cindy said I'm faking 
These maladaptive daydreams
Hypochondriac 
Is romance in our waiting

we're giving up
pirouette above
you can get on my nerves
i can get on your nerves
takes me down
money on the shelf
i know where you bled from
i know 

we're giving up
let my body run
you can get on my nerves
i can get on your nerves
but its not the same
still too weak for change 
just tell me how
what could i do?
tell me then
what do i do?
tell me then

i'm done, i'm done prying
i'm done, i'm done prying at your door

i could walk out
and things could go south
i could walk out
miss these things we talked about

lonely in my mind
only all the time
i know, i know

they wanna roll my weed
they wanna say its cool
they wanna take her out
they don't wanna take whats real
i don't really know whats real
just know its not you

now you wanna lie to me
now you wanna say whats cool
now you wanna talk all night
now you wanna stay til 3
now you wanna go w me
now you wanna talk about love and what we had

im done trying to act like i am not really with it
took my head out of my hands
im over being out of spirit
stepping out of me 
stepping of little deaths & all we had


when i crossed you by
i did not know what i'd find
when i walk u by i always run
no disguise 
and my hearts on fire
trying to think on how to get you back
when my hearts on fire
i know if there's a will there's a way

i wanna rock with you
feels like walk on two
wanna runaway i do
got caught up with truth 
got caught up with everything but you
im falling without you now

im waving, you see me, im waving
got my hands praying
seeming seething taming
my statement
it's not that its better for you

These Foolish Things
